ZIEMIA is an interdisciplinary studio. Working on a wide variety of scales, from urban to architectural, we always analize broadly in each context we create. Allowing social, cultural and historical factors to enrich every concept. Each space, which is the material of an architect's work, contains a record worth reading. We are interested in the relationships between users and the space, which broadly define the shape of the solutions we propose. When working on a project, we are accompanied by strategic thinking. The studio enhances collaboration, transcending the boundaries between research, urban planning and architecture. ZIEMIA was established in 2017 by Jakub Gołębiewski and Romea Muryń.
